State v. Dunne
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court denied Defendant's motion to allow withdrawal of his guilty plea and dismiss the underlying matter on double jeopardy grounds, holding that the district court did not err in denying Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea and dismiss and the criminal endangerment and criminal mischief charges in Jefferson County.
Jefferson County charged Defendant with criminal endangerment, fleeing from or eluding a peace officer, and criminal mischief. The next month, Gallatin County charged with him criminal endangerment and fleeing from or eluding a peace officer. Defendant pled guilty to both charges. Defendant subsequently moved to withdraw his guilty plea and to dismiss the Jefferson County charges, arguing that they violated constitutional double jeopardy protections. The district court allowed the motion as to the fleeing from or eluding a peace officer charge and otherwise denied the motion. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the district court did not err by denying Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea as to the criminal endangerment and criminal mischief charges.
